Ok!! Here's my voting story...
perfect 10 minutes!!

I walked in, and there was a table of 6 ladies(workers). 2 voters in front of me, and one lady called me over to her. She is also a board member of my community. I asked her if Joe Biden was still on the ballot, and she said she thought they took him off. So I was kind of bummed. They took my DL, looked up my name on the sheet, had me verify my address, and sign the sheet. They handed my the voting machine activation card, and I went to the machine.(touch screen) Put the card in and BAM, up pops Joe Biden!! First name on the ballot, obviously by alphabetical order. I happily....no, actually, I was giddy to be able to vote for him, checked the box next to his name, and went on to amendment 1. That's all that was on the ballot, and when I was done, I went to give the card back, and told the worker that he was still on the ballot, and that; "I was making a statement here" to which they all laughed. They then handed me my badge of honor;



I am so fricken happy that I could vote for Joe, even though it means nothing, and it's only symbolic!!

1. Well, it does mean something to you
and to the rest of us diehard Bidenites, even if it is only "symbolic". It is a powerful symbolic gesture.

and even though someone on the board this morning told me that he was on the ballot, I kept thinking he just didn't know....so I perked right up when I saw his name, Joseph R. Biden Jr. :-)

My neighbor had gone early this morning, and I saw him come back on my sec. camera, so I go runing out there in my night gown, LOL, just to ask him, but he 'couldn't remember'!?! I mean, he had to pass his name to get to Edwards. :eyes:

5. Corona,
I don't really understand what does and doesn't count in the FL election, but tell me this: Will there be a COUNT given at the end of the day? Like,
Obama 11 votes, Hillary 13 votes, Giuliani 1 vote -- something like that? Thanks.!

6. Yes, they should report all votes, but they just won't have a delegate count.
So you will see who got the most votes.
